Download coordinates as: Drayton is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.

[5][6] To the west of Drayton, the southern part of ANZAC Avenue forms the axis of a growing industrial and commercial district extending west and north towards Glenvale.

[2]Drayton continued to be the primary settlement in the region until the town of Toowoomba was established four miles to the north-east, whereupon the centre of population rapidly moved to the newer settlement owing to its better access to water and favourable growing conditions.

By 1905, the Australian Handbook stated that the town "may now almost be considered a suburb of Toowoomba".

[9][10] One of the oldest buildings in the Drayton area is the Royal Bull's Head Inn.

On Sunday 31 March 1940, 500 people attended a ceremony to place a cairn to mark the site of the first church on the Darling Downs in memory of its founder Canon Glennie.
